Hotel Express International was founded in the USA in 1987.
Two years later Hotel Express was established in Europe, with focus on the Scandinavian countries.
During the nineties Hotel Express International was developed in the whole of
Europe and other parts of the world.

In 1997 the owner of Hotel Express in Europe bought the worldwide rights for
Hotel Express International from the USA, and moved the world’s Head Office
from Dallas, Texas to Kristiansand, Norway.

The staff at the Head Office are working continuously to develop and improve our
program, and quality is given highest priority in all respects. Not only do they
work to increase the number of member hotels, but they also ensure
that all hotels comply with the rules and honour the member discounts.
